My Rambles

Ramblings of the Week, February 13, 2017

I think I am finally on the mend from my illness. I manage to sleep through the night without waking up with an absurd amount of coughing. I wouldn’t call myself 100%, probably more like 80% but it’s so much better.

I posted the first chapter of my Cinderella Spirk story, When I Fall in Love. I had thought of having this story be the one for the T’hy’la Big Bang and I discovered as I sat down to write it that it just wasn’t going to work for that. The minimum word count for that is 10,000 and I think I intend to keep my entry to about that. So never fear, I am sure I will come up with something for that.

The reaction to my short Valentine’s story, The Rose, has been mostly positive on AO3 (I did have one person think that Jim was cruel to Bones, but you know life isn’t always roses and wine and everything fine).

I am currently working on the next chapter of Young and Beautiful. I don’t actually think it was next in my spreadsheet, but I just felt like working on it.

I have been playing this silly game on my phone and right now they have a special game going where you can get a special pink fish for Valentine’s Day. Well, as most of those games do, they want you to spend money on their “free game” and last night I went a little nuts (it happens) and spent $50 on extras for the game just to get through the extra game to get the special pink fish. After I got her I just went, what the hell did I just do? I confessed my sins to my SO who was aghast to say the least. Ugh LOL.

Ramblings of the Week, February 06, 2017

I finally updated Who’s the Daddy . Had to delete a comment when she told me to “chillax”. I’ve seriously had it with the people commenting on that fiction.

In more positive news, myself and five friends are seeing Adam Lambert + Queen at the Hollywood Bowl at the end of June. We bought the tickets this past weekend. We are sitting up pretty high but are pleased to be seeing it and the Bowl is an iconic outdoor venue.

Yes, I am still sick. And I am fucking sad about it.

Out of control tongue

It’s been a constant struggle for the last two weeks, I’m not going to lie. It takes a lot for me to remain positive in light of what’s going on around me as well as while I am still fighting the worst cold I have had to endure in years.

I have asthma and every illness I get goes into my lungs and makes me sound like a seal while I hack my lungs out. It’s distressing and embarrassing to be honest. I spent the better part of the last three days holed up in my house desperate to get better. And while I think I am on the mend, please let me be, the cough remains. It’s the kind cough that wracks your whole body, you even feel your heart clenching in your chest. It’s a nightmare.

It’s caused me to slow down on updating fan fictions but that’s life. I think I am supposed to do Me When I Was Young next but in all honesty if I don’t feel like it, I may go out of order. You got Don’t Walk Away simply because I didn’t want to work on anything else.

Due to being out sick and on vacation days, I have work at the day job coming out of my eyeballs. Later this week I am supposed to be going to a fancy dinner for a friend’s birthday that has already been postponed once, so yeah, I’m going. Though I can’t say I’m all that looking forward to it.

Challenging

One of the things I like to do with my stories is challenge myself. I started writing a couple of mpreg stories to see what the big deal is, for example. But even then the stories had to be different, which is why you got The Hardest Part and now Who’s the Daddy.

In 2016 I challenged myself to take place in the Old Married Spirk Challenge, writing both an TOS, Every Hour Has Come to This and an AOS entry, A Satisfactory Life.

This year, I am taking on the biggest challenge yet, taking part in the T’hy’la Big Bang challenge. I saw the sign up and challenge information online yesterday and after a bit of discussion with a close friend, I decided to do it. While I can’t talk about the story I will be writing for it, I believe I am able to say that I am taking part in it. I think posting isn’t until June, though there are a number of deadlines before that. I probably won’t say much more than this on it, but I do hope I am not biting off more than I can chew.

The Return

chrissy

I only wish I could say I was better. I’m still feeling crummy. Yesterday, Tuesday, I had something of a relapse and felt worse than I had in days. I still have the cough and lots of guck coming out of my nose (I know, gross). But I am back home and back at work.

Our cat sitter/watcher neglected to check on one of our cats, Luna, and she had locked herself in the bedroom. She manages to open and close doors. She does, really. Anyway, she loves the bed, so she was in there and somehow closed the door on herself and this chick never bothered to check on her Monday when she came to feed them. She spent at least 24 hours locked in this room by herself. She peed and pooped all over the bed and was starving poor thing when we came home. I was not amused.

So I spent a large part of my miserable evening taking care of that, as you can imagine.

I haven’t had sex in over a week and I’m going a little nutty. I just want to feel normal again.

The trip was nice though on Sunday it poured like the Dickens in California and caused all kinds of flooding issues. I am glad to be home and to have a short work week. I plan on taking it very easy this weekend.

Today at lunch I will begin working on Anything.

Weekly Ramblings, January 23,2017

Nah I’m not coming at you from my vacation. I did this ahead of time and have scheduled it to post now.

I still have two fics that are wallowing in December dates when they were last updated and those are Anything and Young and Beautiful.

Anything is, of course, my story where in one Spock’s universe his bondmate, James Kirk, has died. Devastated by grief, Spock manages to invade the Kelvin universe where he has switched places with the Spock from that universe under the belief that Spock doesn’t want his Jim, so he will not care if he goes to a universe where Jim is dead.He takes his Bones along for the ride. The next chapter will involve what has happened to Kelvin Spock and Bones in the strange, unrecognizable place they find themselves in.

Young and Beautiful is the lustful romance between young James Kirk, just after the incident with Nero, and Ambassador Spock, who has taken up residence on New Vulcan. No doubt about it, Jim is hot to trot for our studious older Vulcan.

These will be the stories I will be updating next. Then I will likely get back to my Tarsus story, When it Began.

I haven’t started my fairytale Cinderella yet. I’d like to get some other stories finished before I tackle that. I still intend to do the winter story at some point as well. Right now I am a little overwhelmed by the amount of stories I have going.

In other news, I’ve been sick all week and it has been quite the struggle too. Everyone I know has been sick this week so it’s made things doubly and triply difficult. I’m going off on my trip anyway and won’t be back until Tuesday night.

This weeks picture is the world famous gif that everyone talks about. Take a look at that look on ZQ’s face and tell me that they haven’t.

That’s it for this week. Have a good one.

Weekly Ramblings, Week of 01/16/2017

lick

I am off today for MLK Day. It’s my last work holiday until Memorial Day.

Once again I had to delete a comment on Who’s the Daddy that upset me. Basically this person called Jim a slut and implied Spock had a right to treat him like crap and said basically how big it was of Spock to apologize. This person has commented on fics of mine in the past and I have had no issues with the comments, but in their effort to defend Spock I guess they have to be extra crude about Jim and I really am offended by it. I either had to delete it or I was in danger of making a really rude response.

I’ll be gone this coming weekend as well as a couple of days after that. I won’t be updating January 21-24. You will have to find someone else to love besides me.

If I Could

If you could be anywhere—I’d be in Dromoland Castle
If you could eat anything – I’d eat mashed potatoes and gravy
If you could be anything— I’d be a famous writer living in exile in my mansion looking over the bay in Central California
If you could drink anything – I’d drink Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc
If you could be any age – I’d be 25
If you could unsee anything – I’d unsee Dachau Concentration Camp in Germany
If you could sing – I’d sing The Impossible Dream
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where
The brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
And to love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march,
March into hell
For that heavenly cause
If you could be any fictional character – I’d be Lancelot from the King Arthur Legend
If you could play any sport — I’d do Olympic diving
If I could be any Star Trek Character – I’d be Jim Kirk
If I could be any Muppet – I’d be Sweetums
If I could be any flavor of ice cream – I’d be Rocky Road
If I could win millions of dollars – I’d buy a big house in Central California
If I could turn back time – I’d be a powerful despot
If I could predict the future – I would have found a way to save the world from a Trump Presidency
If I could spend the night in any celebrity’s bed – this is a no-brainer, Chris Pine
